Whether it is certain communities or topics, or the uptime or the underlying infrastructure and technology, are there any goals?
Or does it aim to be 100% generic in every manner?
I do see we’re using lemmoney (did I spell it right?), so that seems to be the first thing to set us apart
I started with the goal of using fediverse without getting defederated and not losing data in case of instance close (like vlemmy.net 🤔). Didn’t think about rest but we can move on by community input. Welcome to any suggestion 🙏
Also Lemmony subscribes to all communities of fediverse, so their content starts publishing on our instance. So when we try to subscribe to that community, we’ll not see an empty page.
It makes differs us from small instances I guess. Big instances doesn’t need that because their user base already going to fetch all communities.
What’s the infrastructure behind the instance, if it’s not a secret?
There’s nothing secret, I just used standard ansible setup with S3 object storage for images and Sendgrid email integration. The server is located on Germany. 2 CPU core, 4GB RAM for €9 💁
So that’s why every community I look for has one subscriber
Yes, that’s the reason. I’m not sure how ethical it is. If we subscribe to all of them, we’re not making a positive impact on any of them, right? 🤡
